New Citadel Colour Paints are on the way with updated old paints to bring all of them up to speed as next week’s pre-orders for July 2nd.
Games Workshop just let us in on all the new releases that will be going up for pre-order this coming Saturday at 1 PM Eastern time here in the states.
Note: All of these paints have a 2-week pre-order
New Citadel Contrast Paints
Contrast has revolutionised the way we paint our armies. This massively successful range has allowed hobbyists of all levels to achieve the results they want in a quick, fresh, and easy way. The already-impressive Contrast lineup is set to receive 25 new hues.
Since the introduction of Contrast, we’ve had access to new techniques and easier ways to paint huge amounts of models quickly, so new options are always great!
These are some of the brightest and boldest colours yet, including fiery reds and oranges, icy blues, and vibrant greens and purples. They all go up for pre-order this Saturday, so clear some space on your shelves* and start dreaming up new ways to put the expanded range to use.
These are quite bright across the board, so it will be interesting to see what hobbyists come up with as far as usage goes.
Shades
All Shade paints have been reformulated to flow better, settling into the recesses while adding a bit less pigment to flat surfaces, making them even more useful.
In addition to reformulating these beloved paints (and don’t fret, they’re the same great colours – they just go on smoother and better than ever before) they went ahead and added seven new Shade paints to the range! There’s something here for just about every project, and you’ll be able to pre-order all the new and reformulated existing colours starting this Saturday.
Shades are another great technical option for painting and new options are once again, always great!
The new options look pretty interesting, and with an update to all shades, hopefully, they all are better in the long run too…
White Scar Spray
Sometimes you just need a crisp, bright white undercoat to give your model the perfect start – and that’s where the new White Scar Spray comes in. It’s the perfect compliment to the existing sprays – Grey Seer offers a wonderful cool white, and Wraithbone a rich, creamy base – and now the trinity is complete! White Scar gives you that brilliant white base you’ve always wanted.
Pure white is a good undercoat assuming you want to paint bright colors! This new primer is a great tool for any hobbyist, especially since it pairs well with contrast paints.
